i appreciate your daringness to attempt to add the arrow to the shot. i so wish it was straighter on.

nice eyes. too bad about the strings on the arrow + basic editing. Still very likeable.

Eh, could have been funny, the dof is good but the strings are distracting and take away from this picture

This is cute. The photo is well exposed and the clarity/focus is good. A little overzealous with the noise reduction (plastic looking skin). Did you forget this was a basic challenge and couldn't reshoot without the strings holding the arrow in place? Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Good idea. Too bad the strings are showing.

Looks like Neat Image or Noise Ninja was a tad too strong resulting in plastic skin
  Photographer found comment helpful.

had it not been for the string then maybe a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great expression--looks like you already shot it! Little more DOF might have helped
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If the strings holding the arrow were not visible I would have voted 10. 9 for the strings, but great photo.

The strings holding up the arrow really hurt this. I love the expression.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

hahahahahah great model expression!!!!!!!!!! 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/01/2006 04:25:46 PM
good concept but i can clearly see the fishing line or thread and the face is over processed
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/01/2006 04:15:18 PM
Bonus point for the great expression on your model!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think the string/nylon around the arrow spoils it. Lovely face.6

Epic shot good work! 8

If only the strings weren't visible! Love the expression, great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/30/2006 07:43:00 PM
Ha ha, great shot.... but you can see the string still tied to the arrow?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/30/2006 06:13:12 PM
The string is a little distracting, perhaps some modeling clay or putty could be used to hold the apple. Great overall impact.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/30/2006 09:30:44 AM
Terrific expression, but the string is a killer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great expression - too bad about the strings on the arrow...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 10:30:23 PM
I really like this.... but i can see the strings!!! Still an awesome picture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 10:17:05 PM
is that selective editing? if not, GREAT PIC
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 09:37:47 PM
This is a clear arrow away from a perfect 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 08:39:21 PM
I absolutely love the soft focus and expression on kid's face. The dart is distracting, especially with the fishing line.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 08:35:36 PM
Creative, i think 3 other people had the same idea, yours was pulled off the best
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 06:49:37 PM
Great expression! Too bad about the wires on the arrow, but with basic editing what can you do? Well done--7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 05:27:46 PM
This is GREAT ! I love the expression. And the perspective on the arrow. Shame the wires are not invisible. Couple of very minor niggles - the white hairs on the robe are distracting, and the chink of background bottom right keeps pulling my eye away from the scene.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 05:24:26 PM
Some things could have been better... the sting could have been edited out and the hair on the sweater.

way too much Neat Image or Noise Ninja. Good expression, visible strings are distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 01:12:31 PM
The subject's eyes are striking, but the skin (especially around the mouth and nose) seems devoid of detail and very plastic, which I thought was a shame because it lost a lot of the impact of the photo for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 12:04:09 PM
Nice shot of those eyes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 09:53:04 AM
Cute idea and expression... but I probably would have left the arrow out of it completely. For one thing, we can see that the arrow hit the apple successfully, so these wouldn't be "last words." And the string holding up the arrow is very visible :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 09:17:28 AM
too much neat image ... details in teh skin are lost
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 09:15:33 AM
If only you had the opportunity to remove the threads.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 07:20:58 AM
Would have been better without the blurry arrow and string. Eyes are great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 03:00:29 AM
Nice DOF. Funny expression. Cool textures.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 02:36:33 AM
too bad this was basic editing - maybe you could have had a person hold the fletchings off camera and ... but great facial expssion and idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 02:12:16 AM
hmm, you overprocessed the face, but left the string visible...okay...I don't get it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 01:08:20 AM
LOL. Excellent entry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 12:55:25 AM
Great concept, great shot, but wayyyyy too much noise reduction.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 12:40:05 AM
It's too bad we can see the string. Also, with this title I think it would've been better to not have the arrow there at all. The picture is very crisp. Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/29/2006 12:36:48 AM
That face! Priceless! Great Set-Up & Portrait! Even the lines that hold the arrow add to the whimsy! Great Job! :)
